| A real genius, one best kept secret?? Metralla, You bet I do. However I think it may not be very suitable for my 40 square meter listening area since it is quite big. I am leaning towards tv 2 in fact and may be upgrade my te2.Best Regards, | |
| Passive Pre - No Regrets? Pubul57,Sorry for the confusion. 'Aesthetix' should be replaced with 'Placette' in that statement. The correct statement is 'Unfortunately aesthetix does not stand a chance against placette in terms of speed, transparency, soundstage'.Regards, | |
| Passive Pre - No Regrets? I own a placette rvc and an aesthetix calypso.After 6 months living with both, I must confess that I prefer placette. Aesthetix is a very good pre and I bought it after making a home audition with hovland 100, hovland 200, first sound deluxe and v... | |
| Mastersound's 845 Integrated My experience with them are as follows:It was musical with a good soundstage.Controlled bass with proper weight and body. It was not very detailed and the amps were a little on the warm side to my tastes. I suggest an extended personal audition wi... | |
| coincident total eclipse/v.schweikert gen3 hse Another interesting comparison was done at a dealer with one of my friends(who is a well known piano artist and an audiophile).We made an a/b comparison with super eclipse, vr4 sr, zu definition and wilson sophia.The amplifiers were airtight 211, ... | |
| coincident total eclipse/v.schweikert gen3 hse I have also had the vr4 sr for about 3 months at my home.As ozzy62 states they are not better than vr4 gen 3. | |

| coincident total eclipse/v.schweikert gen3 hse Dear Friends,My final vote went to Total Eclipse 2. Altough I was formerly in love with VR4 Gen3, after meeting te 2 and a 3 day a/b comparison of the two speakers, for me the te 2 was the clear winner in terms of every audiophile parameter (maybe... | |

| antique sound 1009 Dear Friends,After an extensive a to b comparison session of asl 1009 to consonance 211, tenor 75wi, I am happy to say that for me asl 1009 is the clear winner. The 1009 beats consonance 211 SET in every parameter and Tenor in terms of transparenc... | |
| coincident total eclipses/von schweikert gen 3 hse Thank you Byfo. It really helped. It seems that I am moving towards vr4 gen3. Similarly I own a 1009 antique sound as you are. Do you think 60 watts are enough to drive VR4's?? Regards, | |
| coincident total eclipses/von schweikert gen 3 hse Thanks byfo,I do mean VR4 gen 3 hse. Where can I find your comparison.I am sure it will help | |
| coincident total eclipse/v.schweikert gen3 hse tvad, i will shape the other components according to my speaker choice. So it is not a limiting factor on my choice.Thanks, |
